The Perfect Match.

Chapter 70

The weeks pass by faster than Harry could've hoped; it's soon been 3 weeks since leaving the hospital.

And as he wakes the morning of the 3 week mark, he's smiling instantly. He looks at the clock on Louis' nightstand and sees it's only 4:35 am... but Harry's way too excited for this day to go back to sleep.

His mind is filled with Gemma's appointment this morning after his own appointment with Jeff; that's all he has thought about for the past 3 weeks.

He gets up slowly out of the bed, trying not to wake Louis. He smiles as Louis doesn't even move. Harry grabs his sweatpants from the floor and puts them on slowly, his body still weak and exhausted... but nowhere near as bad as it was the day he returned home.

He slips on the blue beanie he had laid out on the dresser the night before. Then, he's looking at himself in the mirror, the only light in the room coming from the bathroom.

He sighs while he's looking over his body, his face; he wonders just how long it's going to take him to regain all of his weight this time. All he wants is to look like himself again... and to feel like himself.

He glances at Louis one more time before he's sneaking out of the room, his phone in his hand and Louis' cigarettes in the other.

He walks down the stairs slowly, the house so quiet. He goes to the kitchen and makes himself a cup of tea, then he's unlocking the patio doors and opening it quietly.

He shuts it back and then walks over to the pool; he rolls up his sweatpants before he's slowly sitting down, sitting the tea next to him.

He sighs and closes his eyes at the warm water on his legs. Then, he's looking off at the LA lights, the skies still completely dark.

He watches the waters turning blue to green, like always, and he smiles a little, wondering if he should talk Louis into changing the pool lights to rainbow colors instead.

He opens his Twitter, seeing tons of notifications. He hasn't been on it in a while; Louis has been the one to do all of the updates for him.

He grins, though as he begins a tweet... tears even begin coming to his eyes while he's typing.

"'So thankful to be home and recovering with my family and spouse @Louis_Tomlinson. Thank you all for your thoughts. x H'"

Harry smiles and hits tweet, sighing out a breath of relief while he's staring down at the words.

Harry knows that soon Chris will be wanting an update on him and how everything is going.

And for once, Harry actually looks forward to sharing another chapter of their story with the world... it seems it's reached that far to Louis and himself. People from all over have tweeted them, even people back in England.

Harry smiles while he's thinking about all of the things he has to look forward to; he has art shows he wants to put on again. But, he has a special one in mind... one that he is passionate about doing and wants to talk to Louis about.

He knows Louis won't object to his idea; Harry does know, however that it'll all have to wait a few months. He has to focus on regaining his strength first. That's the most important thing to Harry. When Jeff gives him the ok to start running and working out, Harry knows he'll be doing exactly that the very same day. He's eager to get back to the real Harry Tomlinson.

He lights one of Louis' cigarettes slowly, though he can hear Louis' accent in his head telling him not to... but Harry doesn't think much of having just one... in a way, he wants to celebrate.

But maybe what it all boils down to is that he only wants some freedom again... freedom to make some sort of choice; he hasn't had that in months now.
